Undercover receives the Ergonomics Innovation Award

Top marks in the truest sense of the word go to school bag manufacturer Undercover and its neoxx and Scooli brands. These were awarded the Ergonomics Innovation Prize of the Institut für Gesundheit und Ergonomie e.V. (Institute for Health and Ergonomics, IGR for short).

"I am delighted that we were able to impress the jury with the ergonomic concepts of our school bags. I myself am the father of a daughter in elementary school. Therefore, it is important to me to continuously develop the back-friendly and preventive features of the school bags. The award encourages our team in this endeavor and shows that we are on the right track," says Managing Director Michael Fortdran.

The jury based its decision on the continuous further development of a health-promoting school satchel concept as well as the sensitization of parents of prospective first graders to the topic of ergonomics.

The jury's evaluation criteria include health-promoting and preventive product concepts and measures to raise awareness of ergonomics, as well as the topics of quality, design and durability, and compliance with social standards.
